Single Wire Tests

@Jeanna

If the circuit was right then the polarity of one of your battery sets was wrong. It sounds like each battery was trying to eat the other's tail 

LEDs typically don't like voltages as high as 2.6. You'll have to look at the package they came in for their voltages. Usually you must add a resistor in series.

Thanks, BEP
This is from Rosphere's post the pic is called firstexperiment-bjpeg maybe on page 8 or 9 where the batteries are mirror to each other but the ends of each battery driven circuit is out on the ends of that straight wire. I think the heat in the batteries (very hot) might be coming from too quickly "recharging" the battery or maybe just like a shorted battery.- except the voltage didn't drain out.

I was avoiding using a resistor only because SM said that some kind of resistor screwed up the works, so I took my chances (If I hadn't JUST recharged them they would have been  been OK.)

This single wire deal is such an interesting thing.

This is YOUR description of it:

Put a black from bat A along with a red from bat B together on one end and reverse on the other (with the loads connected).
The current from both bats is flowing the full length of the wire but opposite directions. If the wire explodes at 1.5 amps and each load is drawing 1 amp then why doesn't the wire explode? Better yet why does no current show at all in the middle?

I just did it and registered the voltages at those various points.
The wire didn't get as hot as the battery. I checked after my hand got burned. The wire wasn't hot (yet).

OK, I hate to spoil everyone's fun, but can someone who has run one of these tests cut the single wire in the middle?  I suspect that it will make no difference in the load LED brightness or resistor amperage; there is another DC path that does not include the wire.

That being said, I still have no explanation for Bruce's odd effects with the pulsed single wire tests.  (Actually, I do have an idea, but still need to test it, as well as confirming Bruce's results in the first place)

Thanks!

I probably blew another fuse. I get zero amps, but

the voltage on this circuit is:

+ to - 2.38vdc one way and
2.43vdc the other and
+ to + 0.01vdc and
- to - 0.00vdc

hmm

now to find a fuse???

Hi Eldarion,

If you could confirm Rosphere's experiment as well.  The question in my mind is this, "Does sending like signals, different power sources, disable the flux or make it stronger?"

"If those two identical signals/different sources are out of phase 90 degrees, what does this do with respect to the flux, etc.?  What about 120 degrees out of phase?" 

I am sure you will see something.

@ Marco
The suspense is getting to me.  So what did you see when you tested opposing signals/different sources in your coil?  I want to ask you, since no one else has.  Also thanks for again bringing this to the forefront. 

Cheers,

Bruce

LOL
Cut the wire in the middle ---- it's a series connection between the two batteries
